1,000 San Diegans Expected for Jazzercise Dance for Life Fundraiser to Support Susan G. Komen.

Jazzercise instructors will bring San Diegans together to fight breast cancer and dance for a cure aboard the USS Midway on Saturday, September 13th, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. An estimated 1,000 Jazzercise instructors, customers, family and friends, including many who have been affected by breast cancer, will participate in a huge group fitness class on the deck of the USS Midway. Proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Komen 3-Day®. At last year’s Jazzercise Dance for Life event 900 people danced together and raised more than $56,000 to fight the disease. 

Jazzercise Dance for Life will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 13th on the USS Midway located at 910 N. Harbor Drive, San Diego, CA  92101. The cost is $35 in advance or $45 at the door with proceeds donated to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day. The event will feature a giant group fitness class led by Jazzercise instructors from San Diego and surrounding communities. Breast cancer survivors will be honored and dance together during the “Survivor Song.”   

“We are proud to be part of the fight to end breast cancer,” said Judi Sheppard Missett, Founder and CEO of Jazzercise, Inc. “We’re excited to be able to do what we love—dance—to support those affected by breast cancer, raise awareness for prevention, and fund research to find a cure. Join us!”
